They finally came to replace our broken water line. I don't know why our builder used such crappy pipe here - we've watched all of our neighbors have to go through this over the years. I think we're the last ones.
My daughter in law brought the girls over because she thought they'd enjoy watching the backhoe dig up the yard - and they did! They both had to get up close and look into the hole etc.
The trickiest part was that our fibre optic cable runs diagonally right through the yard (how dumb is that?) so they had to be careful not to break that in the process - but they were pretty awesome - they did it.
(if you look closely at the 2nd photo, you can see the cable going across the hole)
They actually did it pretty quick - it only took a couple of hours! We have water again, and are good to go. The guy promised us that this new line would last us forever (which is pretty hard to believe, because it just looked like plastic garden hose!) They even popped out my old dead tree stump to boot! I had bought a new tree to plant there, and I wondered how I was going to get that out!
Ohhhhh but so much for a nice green lawn this summer!

My parents just had this happen to them to but their was under the bedroom. Gave my mom the excuse to redo the entire room. :)
I hope your green grass grows quickly. :)
Ugh! I'm so glad ours was out far enough that it didn't flood the house - that would have been awful!
